Napoleon (2023)

The legendary director of Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, American Gangster, and.....Exodus: Gods and Kings (!) has returned to deliver another historical epic.  Oscar-nominated legend Ridley Scott (also Alien, Thelma & Louise) directs the story of Napoleon Bonaparte, the renowned French King/General who took Europe by storm just over 200 years ago....and he's played by recent Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix.  His beloved wife/empress Josephine is also played by recent Oscar-nominee Vanessa Kirby.

The narrative takes us through Napoleon's tumultuous relationship with Josephine and also through several of the most memorable battles in which he participated....but does it cover his WHOLE story?  And does that even matter?  Sir Ridley takes us back through history in a manner only he can.
